Wanetta Gibson, the woman who falsely accused line-
backer Brian Banks of rape when they were both stu-
dents at Long Beach (Calif.) Polytechnic High School,
has been ordered to repay $2.6 million in damages re-
lated to the $1.5 million she received from the Long
Beach School District in a 2007 lawsuit, claiming an un-
safe environment.Gibson was sued for the money she re-
ceived, as well as court costs and a possible $1 million
inpunitive damages. Gibson was not present at the ruling
and her whereabouts are unknown, per the Long Beach
Press-Telegram, but the court gained authorization to re-
coup the money through her future wages and property.
It's important to note that Banks receives none of this
money. He served five years in prison and another five
years on probation as a result of the original verdict, and
was released only in 2012 when Banks taped her admit-
ting that the accusation was false.

tured actor as a newspaper editor in "Lucky Guy." Billy

MIAMI – Not one, not two… A little more than two years ago, LeBron James stood on the stage in Miami, the smoke
swirling about him, and made one of the most audacious declarations the NBA had ever heard. He had just joined
with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form the most star-powered triumvirate in the league, and now he was prom-
ising the Miami Heat fistfuls of titles.
Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven…
James crowed, and he was mocked fast and hard for the boast, for the spectacle of a welcome party the Heat had
thrown for him, for his narcissistic I'm-taking-my-talents-to-South-Beach cable TV special. He hadn't won anything
yet, of course. He just acted like he had, arriving there full of pompousness and entitlement, well on his way to be-
coming one of the sporting world's great villains. Of course he was Thursday’s night MVP.

On Wednesday 06-19-
2013 at 1120 PM, patrol of-
ficers were dispatched to
2078 Oak Water Dr. in ref-
erence to a shooting inves-
tigation. Upon arrival
officers located the listed
victim inside the house un-
responsive. We later
learned that the residents of
the house were watching a
movie when several males
forced entry into the residence through the front door, in
an attempted home invasion robbery. The residents of
that home fired at the suspects striking the listed victim.
That victim was transported to a local hospital where he
was later pronounced deceased. (Aaron Harris)
Early this morning, Thursday 06-20-2013, police were
again called to the Arlington area, when a deceased body
was found near a dumpster at the Monument Road Ani-
mal Hospital at 1238 Monument Rd. Upon further inves-
tigation by JSO Homicide detectives, it was determined
that the deceased was also a suspect in the earlier home
invasion/attempted robbery on Oak Water Drive. At this
time we cannot confirm the identity of the second de-
ceased, as family notifications are underway. This is a
very active investigation and further details will be pro-
vided in future updates.
Any citizens with information about these homicides are
asked to call the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office at (904)
630-0500 or to remain completely anonymous.
Basquiat, who grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., was the son
of a Haitian father and a Puerto Rican mother. He died
Aug. 12,1988. He was only 27.
Basquiat began as an obscure graffiti artist in the late
1970s before evolving into one the world's most-ac-
claimed artists.
He initially signed his graffiti art as SAMO. Homeless
and living in Central Park, abandoned buildings and with
friends, Basquiat sold hand-painted postcards and T-shirts
to make money when he first started out.
He died at 27and 25 yearslater, his painting,pictured above,“Dusthead” soldat a New Yorkauction for morethan $48 million.
Black actors and ac-
tresses did extremely
well at Sunday night's
Tony Awards, which
honors the best perform-
ances on Broadway.
Cicely Tyson won

Miller won for best ac-
tress in a musical for her
role in "Pippin," and

Yjkvg"Fgcvju"Qwv"Pwodgt"Dncem"FgcvjuThe Census Bureau revealed on Thursday that for the
first time, white deaths outnumber births in the U.S. Ac-
cording to Census, this dip predicts that the number of
whites will decline every year, but significant drops in the
number of whites won’t be seen until 2025.
Even though the drop in the white population is small
now, many demographers said that they have never before
seen a similar drop off. No other racial group shrank dur-
ing this period.
What’s behind the population decline among whites?
For one thing, they’re older with a median age of 42. The
median age for Asians is 34. For African-Americans, the
median age is 32, and 28 for Hispanics.

Little Meechie knowing he was having prob
lems in school but also knew that his grand-
parents had a lot of faith in him. One day, he
said to them, “I am going to go down in histo-
ry.” They were delighted and decided it was
best to not ask questions about his future
plans just wait and continue to encouraage him. About two
weeks later, his report card came. He not only went down in his
tory, his score went down in math also.
After he handed the report to them and observed the look on
their faces, he said: “I told you so.”

You’ve paid into Medicare your entire working life. That is why now it is more
important than ever that our elected leaders take responsible, common-sense action to
keep Medicare strong for current beneficiaries and generations to come.
Join AARP Florida volunteer radio hosts Melvin Wooden and Billie Holmes on
WCGL-AM 1360 at 2:00 p.m. June 26 for “News You Can Use, From AARP,” as they
discuss Washington’s plans to cut Medicare benefits and updates you on what AARP
is doing to fight these cuts.
AARP fights for issues that are important to you and your family. That’s why AARP
is urging Congress to find sensible solutions for Medicare beneficiaries. AARP
opposes Washington’s proposals to raise the eligibility age for Medicare beneficiar-
ies, as well as other reductions in benefits.
Instead, AARP is fighting for common-sense solutions that will strengthen Medicare
while also reducing the nation’s budget deficit. Wooden and Holmes will be joined
by AARP FL Communications Manager Dave Bruns, who’ll update listeners on the
latest information on Medicare.
Also on June 26, Wooden and Holmes will be joined by AARP Florida Executive
Council Member Dr. Brenda Jarmon, a professor at Florida A&M University, to dis-
cuss Juneteenth, the holiday in the United States that commemorates the abolition of
slavery at the close of the Civil War.
Dr. Jarmon will reflect on the significance of this holiday today, after so much time
has gone past, and also discuss her forthcoming book on heritage and identity. Tune
in to WCGL-AM 1360 radio at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday June 26 to cover these topics
and more with Wooden, Holmes, and guests.
Tune in every month on WCGL-AM 1360 on the second and last Wednesdays of the
month for “News You Can Use from AARP” to learn about issues affecting older
African-Americans in Jacksonville and surrounding areas. To volunteer for AARP
Florida in the Jacksonville area, please call (866) 595-7678 and ask for Associate
State Director Nancy Stanton.
Vincent Jacobbi is an AARP communications intern.

A new study shows that teen selection of social media is frequently becoming a
Black or white choice.
African-American teens are less likely to disclose their real names on their social-
media profiles (95 percent of white social-media-using teens do this versus 77 percent
of African-American teens).
White teens are less likely to be social friends with celebrities, athletes or musicians
than Blacks. (48 percent of black social-media-using teens report celebrity friends
while only 25 percent of white ones do).
• Twitter is the preferred social network of African-American teens compared to
white teens (39 percent of African-American teens reported using Twitter while only
23 percent of white teens preferred it).
African-American teens are more likely to post fake information to their profiles than
whites (39 percent of African-American teens report doing this compared with 21 per-
cent of white teens).

Three Ways to Give Back to Your Community
(StatePoint) These days, many of us lead busy lives that are short on two things: time and
money. And while this may pose a challenge when it comes to supporting local nonprofit or-
ganizations, there are ways you can give back to the community, no matter what your schedule
or financial situation looks like.
Here are three simple ideas for making a positive contribution, whether you’re
strapped for time, resources or both:
Use Your Work Day
You’re probably pretty busy juggling family and work obligations. Chances are you really
want to volunteer in your community but may not always have the time to do as much as
you’d like. This doesn’t mean that lending a helping hand is out of reach for you.
Consider starting a Volunteer Day initiative at your workplace, where the whole team
offers their time to local nonprofit community service projects one afternoon every few
months.
Your boss may love the idea if you remind him or her that such an effort will be great
for team building.
Or check with your human resources department about the possibility of paid time
off to volunteer in the community. There may be opportunities at your company of which you
are not aware.
Nominate a Nonprofit
You don’t need to be a big donor to help secure substantial support for organizations doing
great work. For example, a program called “50 States for Good” enables people to nominate
their favorite community organizations to help gain funding for grassroots community pro-
gramming. It is designed to make it easier for regular folks to give back, and is funded by
Tom’s of Maine, a leading natural products company focused on oral and personal care.
Anyone who is heartened by the work of local nonprofit organizations can nominate
their favorite for a chance to share in $150,000 in funding. A panel of independent judges
then determines 51 finalists, one from each state and the District of Columbia.
Fifteen organizations will be awarded $10,000 each, as determined by a public vote
in September.
In past years, Tom’s of Maine has funded “50 States for Good” projects that have
built community playgrounds, maintained sustainable nature trails, provided shelter and food
for the homeless and cared for animals, among many other initiatives. Now in its fifth year,
“50 States for Good” celebrates and rewards nonprofit organizations committed to meaningful
change and work that addresses local needs.
To nominate an organization via a short essay, visit www.50statesforgood.com
through July 8, 2013.
Multitask
Walking the dog? Taking the kids to the park? Consider combining your stroll with a mini
cleanup. Bring a plastic bag, wear gloves and pick up litter as you go. Not only will you be
beautifying the neighborhood, you’ll be helping to prevent harmful garbage from entering
local waterways.
Get the kids involved to teach them an important lesson about how their behaviors
can make a larger impact.
You don’t need to be Bill and Melinda Gates to make a meaningful impact. There are
creative ways that make it possible for anyone to give back to their community.

Two Men Use Juveniles for Fundraiser
Scheme
Police were dispatched in
reference to juveniles that
were soliciting door to door,
attempting to sell food goods
and other items. While solic-
iting at one home, one of the
juveniles asked for a drink of
water.
The juveniles told resi-
dents that they were working
with a non-profit, youth or-
ganization called “Aware
and Active Youth Corp.” The
organization was supposed
to be designed to offer extra-
curricular activities to its
members.
When police arrived on scene they lo-
cated two juveniles in the area. The juveniles
appeared to be very thirsty. They had been left
in the area with no food, water, or means of
communication and they did not even know
where they were. The police took custody of the
juveniles to further investigate.
Detectives were called in to continue the
investigation. Investigation revealed that nine
juveniles, ranging ages from 12 through 15,
were transported far from home to sell items
door to door. The juveniles had been dropped
off at 1 p.m. and were walking unsupervised
until 6 p.m. when the resident called police.
Detectives learned that two young
adults, Kendy Senat, 22, and Terrence Holiday,
21, were responsible for the juveniles. They
were the ones behind operating the solicitation
scheme. The juveniles were given cue cards to
read to “customers”regarding the “non-profit or-
ganization”and funding the youth group.
In reality, the group was pocketing all of the money, with the juveniles turning over most of the earnings to Senat and Holiday. Each item that was sold $8.00, the juveniles were given
$2.25, and the rest went to Senat and Holiday. The juveniles told detectives they would nor-
mally work 8-12 hours per day and would earn between 5 and 50 dollars per day. They all ad-
vised that they did not know where they were or any of the street names where they had been left to work.
Detectives contacted the parents of each
juvenile as well as the Department of Children
and Families (DCF). Each parent was advised
that his or her child was at a youth convention
with Senat and Holiday. They were also that
their children were lied to as well.
Detectives determined that the group
collected nearly $500 from numerous residents
in. They were purchasing items from the dollar
store and then selling the items for $8 each. As
a result of the investigation and multiple inter-
views, probable cause was developed for Kendy
Senat and Terrence Holiday for organized fraud.
With the assistance of DCF, a second charge was
developed on both individuals for nine counts of
child neglect.
Please be cautious when purchasing
items from someone that you do not know or
from anyone claiming that they are representing
a charity.

Gangs
Learn About Gangs
• Gangs can be organized around race or ethnic group, money making activities, or
territory.
• Gangs usually claim a particular area of town which they call their “turf.” They
spend much of their time fighting rival gangs to keep them out of this territory.
• Most gang members are males ranging in age from 8 to 22 years old.
• Females, especially Asian and Hispanic, are moving away from the traditional role
of being merely girlfriends of gang members and are forming their own gangs.
• Gangs wear particular items, styles, brands, or colors of clothing.
• Some gangs wear bandannas of a certain color or baseball caps of a specific
team.Some gangs mark their bodies with tattoos with their gang symbol or name.
• Gangs often use special hands signs or handshakes to tell others the gang to which
they belong.
• “Gangsta” rap paints a realistic picture of daily gang activity. The lyrics glorify
violence, abuse of women, and disrespect for authority, especially the police. Con-
trary to what you may think, gangs are not around to help you. These groups of
young people break the law, beat up people, and murder.
What causes some teens to join gangs? Among the most common reasons are to:
• belong to a group
• receive protection
• earn money
• end boredom and seek more excitement
• be with friends and be more popular.
• For some it is even a family tradition.
What Does the Future Hold:
• Gang members may be killed or injured.
• Many put themselves in danger of disease, prison, and death.
• Many become dependent on alcohol and drugs.
• Gang members usually drop out of school, limiting their chances for higher edu-
cation or good employment.
• They are likely to be involved in crime throughout the rest of their lives.
• They may commit serious and violent crimes that lead to lengthy jail time.
Your Children:
• If threatened by gangs, tell them to let you know and possibly contact the police
or school officials.
• Tell them don’t be a “wannabe” by dressing or acting like they want to be in a
gang.
• Make sure they hang out with other kids who are not involved and don’t want to
be in a gang.
• Encourage them to get involved in activities that are not gang-related, such as or-
ganized sports, summer jobs, community organizations, volunteer groups, faith
groups, or arts and drama groups.

Elderly Woman Unknowingly Hires Repeat Criminal to do
Housework
A man was hired by a 92-year-old woman to do yard work and odd jobs around her
home. The victim said she hired Joseph Schum, 45,
but after a few months, she realized she was miss-
ing numerous items of “International” sterling sil-
ver dinnerware, “Minton” china, a gold necklace
with a rare silver Spanish coin, and possibly cash.
Detectives say that Schum stole several thousand dollars’
worth of household items and jewelry and learned that he had
pawned some of these items in January and February of this year.
He was arrested and charged with exploitation of the elderly,
and three counts each of dealing in stolen property and providing
false ownership information to a pawn broker.
This is Schum’s 20th arrest for similar crimes as well as bur-
glary, aggravated assault and possession of crack cocaine. He is
being held without bond on two charges and $150,000 bond on the
remaining counts.

Man Flees As Others Help Him Hide
At approximately 1:30
a.m., police responded to an ad-
dress to serve active felony war-
rants on James Hendrix Beasley,
19, for three counts of felony vi-
olation of probation for 2 counts
of grand theft of a firearm and
one count of burglary of a
dwelling.
Police arrived and
knocked on the front door and answered by Kieron Jamal Lewis, 22, and another man. When police asked for Beasley,
both men indicated Beasley had
left several hours earlier.
One deputy recognized that the other
man standing behind Lewis in the doorway was
Beasley from previous arrest. Police took cus-
tody of Beasley and began handcuffing him.
Beasley began violently resisting and struck one
officer with his forearm. Beasley was able to
break free from the officer’s grasp and fled on
foot with a set of handcuffs dangling on one
arm.
After detectives began searching Beasley's friends, family, and associates, ended up locating him at another address about 5 hours later. Beasley was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, escape and petit theft in addition to Beasley's previous list of criminal charges he faced.
Lewis was also arrested and charged
with obstruction or opposing an officer.
Detectives will continue with this inves-
tigation with expectation of arresting additional
individuals who participated in assisting
Beasley avoid apprehension.
Beasley is currently being held without
bond.

Thank you for a hard,
gritty job well done
Work gloves on and safety goggles fastened, Mayor Alvin Brown got his
hands dirty on a collection route with members of a city Solid Waste crew
on Monday.
To acknowledge National Garbage Man Day, Mayor Brown praised all city
employees for their enthusiastic work to keep Jacksonville clean, day in and
day out.
“It’s important to celebrate the hard work these men and women do for our
quality of life in Jacksonville,” said the Mayor. “We need to recognize the ef-
forts of these public servants that keep our streets and neighborhoods clean
and help to foster a greater sense of pride in our community.”
The mayor said that respecting valued city employees is about more than
simple rhetoric or symbolic ceremony. True recognition is about genuine in-
volvement; rolling up your sleeves, taking off your tie and breaking a sweat
with some of Jacksonville’s hardest working men and women.
“It means a lot for him to come out in the hot sun and see our work life,” said
garbage collector Kenneth Buchanan, a city employee.
“It really shows he cares about our community and the City of Jacksonville,”
said Cory Smith.

Dix-Ville Family Reunion Brings Generations Together
By Denise Noble-Williams
A little bird planted the reunion
seed and our small tree is still
growing.
My Name is Denise Noble-
Williams born and raised in the
heart of Dix-Ville.
A place we call home. Dix-Ville is
a small community where every-
body knows everybody. The dif-
ference between Dix-Ville and
other communities is that we
have always stood together in
good as well as bad times. We
were born to different parents but
yet raised as sisters and broth-
ers. Dix-Ville is the most talked
about neighborhood in all of
Brunswick. We've had Dix-
Villians from all over to come
home this year... From New York,
Miami & Texas. Included in the
group was Wil Ellis Williams, the
middle son of Inez Williams from
whom the park was named after.
Mrs. Williams was called, “The
Mayor of Dix-ville” because of her
giving spirit, helping the resi-
dents. To those in attendance,
Dix-Ville will always be home.
I could have not put this reunion
together without a good friend,
Mrs. Andrea Austin West who
was the only one to show up to
every meeting with lots of ideas.
I thank the ladies of Dix-Ville who
always step in where
needed...Regina Hobbs-Daniels,

Suns
Kyle Jensen and Danny
Pertusati each hit home runs
for the Jacksonville Suns (1-
0, 35-33), who began the sec-
ond half of the 2013 season
with a 9-4 victory over the
Huntsville Stars (0-1, 29-40)
at Bragan Field in game one
of a five-game series.
Jensen's two-run shot was his
Southern League best 16th
home run of the season, while
Pertusati's third long ball of
the campaign was a three-run
blast gave the Suns a five-run
cushion in the seventh inning.
"We came out swinging the
bats tonight," said Suns man-
ager Andy Barkett following
the game. "Just had some
energy in the dugout. There's
always optimism in the sec-
ond half. It's a new begin-
ning."
A sour note for Jacksonville
came in the eighth, however,
when outfielder and Marlins
number four prospect Jake
Marisnick was hit on the hand
by a pitch and had to be
removed from the game. The
pitch struck the same hand
that Marisnick injured during
spring training.
On the mound, Adam Conley
earned the win for
Jacksonville despite allowing
a two-run home run to Brock
Kjeldgaard and a two-run sin-
gle to Hector Gomez. Conley
picked up his team-leading
seventh victory with five and
two thirds innings on four-run
ball, striking out five and
walking four.
The Suns, who struggled
offensively over the final sev-
eral weeks of the first half of
the season, pounded out 11
hits, including three for catch-
er J.T. Realmuto. Shortstop
Danny Black also finished
with two hits, two runs scored
and an RBI.At the unveiling of the newly renovated “Jaguars Reading
Den” at Andrew Jackson High School, Jaguars owner Shad
Khan announced the awarding of 11 scholarships by the
Jaguars Foundation totaling over $25,000. These students
will be attending various colleges including the University
of Florida, University of North Florida, Florida State
College at Jacksonville and Bethune-Cookman University.
The college scholarship program was established as a part
of the Jaguars corporate partnership with Andrew Jackson
High School to assist students at the school who successful-
ly completed the Jaguars Foundation’s Honor Rows pro-
gram.
The Jaguars Reading Den at Andrew Jackson High School
is a multi-purpose meeting room for students, teachers and
staff. The Jaguars Reading Den features two lounge areas,
interchangeable study centers, hundreds of books and mag-
azines and signed team paraphernalia including a game day
ball signed by Shad Khan and a new Jaguars helmet signed
by Jaguars Head Coach Gus Bradley. The team invested
nearly $25,000 to renovate the room.
“Shad Khan is a champion of education, and scholarships
from the Jaguars Foundation will help these students take
the next steps needed for their successful futures,” said
Jaguars Foundation President Peter Racine. He added, “We
are so pleased to provide this refurbished room to the
school. One of the unique aspects of the Jaguars Reading
Den is that through our partnership with FIRSTBOOK, the
students are free to take any book they like home with them
to incorporate into their home libraries.”
The Jaguars Foundation and team have a strong commit-
ment to education and provide grants exceeding $1 million
annually to support youth and families and other NFL and
team initiatives in the community.
